Mike A Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 Does anyone have any tips for removing the alternator on a 231 (-LB)? The SMM says: NOTE The main alternator is very difficult to remove. The lower engine firewall mount bolts may require loosening,the upper bolts may require removal and the engine pivoted around the lower attach points. I would really prefer not to have to do that.

jackn Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 You prob should bring to an MSC. the best way I've seen is to remove the oil filter, then the oil filter adaptor. You then have clear access.
thinwing Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 Remove the oil filter adaptor??As in the acessory plate??Thats got to be loads of fun!!
Mike A Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Posted May 30, 2013 She is probably not going anywhere without an alternator. I have seen the adaptor removed so I am going to suggest that to the guys before they start on the mounting bolts.
Mike A Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Posted May 31, 2013 Got it out by simply removing the cover then unbolting. Whew.
